COVID-19 also famously known as Coronavirus is one of the deadliest viruses found in the world, which has a high rate in both demise and spread. This has caused a severe pandemic in the world. The virus was first reported in Wuhan, China, registering causes like pneumonia. The first case was encountered on December 31, 2019. As of 20th October 2021, more than 242 million cases have been reported in more than 188 countries, and it has around 5 million deaths. COVID- 19 infected persons have pneumonia-like symptoms, and the infection damages the body's respiratory organs, making breathing difficult. The elemental clinical equipment as of now being employed for the analysis of COVID-19 is RT-PCR, which is costly, touchy, and requires specific clinical workforce. According to recent studies, chest X-ray scans include important information about the start of the infection, and this information may be examined so that diagnosis and treatment can begin sooner. This is where artificial intelligence meets the diagnostic capabilities of intimate clinicians. X-ray imaging is an effectively available apparatus that can be an astounding option in the COVID-19 diagnosis. The architecture usually used are VGG16, ResNet50, DenseNet121, Xception, ResNet18, etc. This deep learning based COVID detection system can be installed in hospitals for early diagnosis, or it can be used as a second opinion.
